DESCRIPTION
Pushbutton PowerPath
Controller with Supervisor
The LTC
®
2952 is a power management device that features
three main functions: pushbutton on/off control of system
power, ideal diode PowerPath™ controllers and system
monitoring. The LTC2952’s pushbutton input, which pro-
vides on/off control of system power, has independently
adjustable ON and OFF debounce times. A simple micro-
processor interface involving an interrupt signal allows
for proper system housekeeping prior to power-down.
The ideal diode PowerPath controllers provide automatic
low loss switchover between two DC sources by regulating
two external P-channel MOSFETs to have a small 20mV
forward drop.
High reliability systems may utilize the LTC2952’s monitor-
ing features to ensure system integrity. These features in-
clude: power-fail, voltage monitoring and μP watchdog.
The LTC2952 operates over a wide operating voltage range
to accommodate a large variety of input power supplies. The
part’s combination of low 20mV external MOSFET regula-
tion and very low standby current matches battery powered
and power conscious application requirements.
